...I'm okay with being REALITY-based.

Distractions

I applaud the Massachussetts Supreme Judicial Court for concluding yesterday that

"The Massachusetts Constitution," the court said,
"does not permit such invidious discrimination, no
matter how well intentioned."

(I don't understand why John Kerry feels he must distinguish between "civil unions" and "marriage" when they are the same thing - his waffling and lack of conviction (that other candidates have no problem showing) is starting to show - but that's another post)

I am disgusted by states' rush to change their constitutions to imbed discrimination in them, and the fact that the president's campaign now has a new call to arms for those who would only care to divide our country over another issue that, while it should be legal for ethics' sake, certain individuals' sense of "morality" will be offended.

But even more than that I'm worried about THIS happening this election year:

Investigation into Valerie Plame leak... Look! Gay Marriage!!

Investigation into Energy Company kick backs by Cheney... Look! Gay Marriage!!

Investigation into lies about leading us into war with Iraq... Look! Gay Marriage!!

Investigation into corporate kickbacks ... Look! Gay Marriage!!

Investigation into 9/11... Look! Gay Marriage!!

Investigation into AWOL status of the president... Look! Gay Marriage!!

Investigation into Texas redistricting... Look! Gay Marriage!!

Investigation into GOP computer hackers in the Senate who stole Dem documents... Look! Gay Marriage!!

Discussion of a fake budget and burgeoning deficit... Look! Gay Marriage!!

Discussion of a failing economy and more jobs being lost... Look! Gay Marriage!!

It's a sucker punch, and trust me, Karl Rove will use it till he can't swing no more and our noses are good and bloody.
